Based off of Scott Hartman's Velociraptor skeletal, this changes the Velociraptor to have a thinner snout and a skinnier body.
The Velociraptor of the Jurassic franchise are infamously inaccurate to their fossil counterparts, in part thanks to how they are based more off of the North American dromaeosaur Deinonychus than their namesakes from Mongolia.
This mod sets out to change this with the Jurassic World-era raptors. Though some inaccuracies have been kept intact (nothing can be done to change the fact that it is as big as a Utahraptor and attempts to fix its hands and/or replicate feathers would probably look cheap and unpolished), and the raptors introduced in the 'Return to Jurassic Park' expansion have intentionally been left untouched, the aim of this is to bring the in-game Velociraptor closer to their real world counterparts in a few key ways:
- The head and snout are longer and thinner
- The lips are immobile (no more snarling)
- The teeth don't go past the maxilla anymore
- The body is less bulky
- The neck and tail are thinner
- The legs are more gracile
